Hi!
Can someone explain what the difference is between these 2 medicines and if i should have both on hand or just one?
Thanks!

Do you have pigeons? That is what it is made for, not big birds like peafowl. It could possibly work on peachicks. I know that Douggie pushes that stuff on PO but it is not a good idea as it is not formulated for peafowl. Plus it is giving antibiotics in less than effective doses that leads to antibiotic resistance.

Ok great thank you!

Yeah someone in one of the other facebook groups asked their vet about it and the vet told them it was totally unsuitable for peafowl.

What do you recommend keeping on hand for peachicks? I saw the 4 &1 on fb as well and was going to order but have been reading on the site and found this. My grandfather always raised pea fowl but this is the first time with hatching eggs.

Valbazen for deworming and toltrazuril for cocci, and Tylan 200 for respiratory and sinus infections.
